<p>Why are we buying brands?</p>
<p>Brands are things with a name tags. It is somebody else&#8217;s product with somebody else&#8217;s name which we value as if we created it and it was ours. Of course it&#8217;s ours, we paid money for that. And we are more likely to share believes and life values with the creator of that brand.</p>
<p>Basically, it is crucial for us to be seen as a person with certain foundations or that brand-like attitude to life. But why is it always important for us that people without this brand  fluff notice us? Looks like we are buying brands for others so we can show that we belong or not belong to their group. Still, the opinion of people without that brand is important and vital to us. After all, the one not branded is a very important reference person, he is the one which will makes us feel even better than a same brand owner. So basically brands are bought for brand-less people, but not for ourselves or the people who have the same.</p>

<p>Зачем мы покупаем бренд?</p>
<p>Бренд &#8211; это продукт, с чьим-то именем и сделанный чужими-то руками. С одной стороны нам хочется ощущать свою к нему сопричастность, с другой стороны, нам хочется верить, что мы стоим так же дорого, как и этот бренд. Нам непременно хочется чувствовать себя лучше. И чаще всего это происходит, когда наши глаза встречаются с глазами тех, кто брэндом ещё не обладает.</p>
<p>И получается так, что покупая бренд, мы покупаем его не для себя, а для тех, кто его не имеет.</p>
